The legacy of the Trident Series 80 console

The story of the Trident Series 80 is an interesting one. Initially, Malcolm Toft and Barry Porter designed the Trident A Range console for London's Trident Studios, where David Bowie, Queen, the Beatles, and James Taylor recorded some of their biggest hits (with Toft at the board). The A Range console was also produced for sale. (As anyone with years of platinum records under their belt will tell you, the Trident A range is rock and roll.) Though only 13 were actually built for commercial sale, the A Range spawned an entire generation of consoles, and many hit records were tracked and mixed on its direct descendant, the Trident Series 80. Today, Toft is still building consoles based on the Series 80, including the Series 980, which was used to record the last three Radiohead releases.
